Milk Paint Coffee Table
I decided my $40 Craig's List table needed to be pink! I used Sweet Pickins new milk paint (in salmon). Mixed the paint with hot water in a mason jar (lots of shaking). Three coats of paint (only because the black was so dark). Sanded the edges with electric sander. And sprayed on 2 coats of water based polycrylic for protection.
Salmon Milk Paint from Sweet Pickins Furniture
Gave the table to coats of water based polycrylic spray for added protection.
Using my leaf blower to take off all the dust from the sanding. Does that make me lazy?
Used my electric sander to 'age' the edges.
Using hot water to shake up the milk paint.
Picked this table up for $40 on Craig's List. The black was great but the top was really scratched up.

Thank you for this post! I have a table that needs a good paint job. I might do this with Carpenters glue and food coloring.
